Germans don't care 

Winter, my third favorite season to complain about.

I am German, almost 60, but I can clearly remember, what my grandma used to say: "There is no bad weather, just wrong clothing". Quite a common phrase in Germany. And it's quite true :)

As a German. It's Winter. Deal with it😂 The seasons are so beautiful.

In north-germany we say: "As long as the rain is not coming horizontally, the weather is fine." 😊

Here’s my take, as a German from Munich who‘s spent the past years abroad: for me,the coldness is not an issue. The problem is that you might not see the sun for 8 weeks in a row, and it stays grey and misery. If it means to wake up early once to catch some sunshine on your face, so be it. And in the evenings, there are of course Glühwein and good friends and food 😄

as a german myself my issue never was how to survive winter, but how to survive summer... especially in the last few years with those - for german standards - huge heatwaves... i just can't handle heat and unlike in the winter - where you can put on more and thicker clothes - there is only so much clothes you can take off before being naked... ;)

As someone from Hamburg: if we would only leave the house, when the weather is pleasant, we would stay inside for most of the year😂 so we adapt with clothing

looks like we germans took over the comment section again. Well done team.🏅

German culture seems to have a larger than average acceptance for type 2 fun, the kind of fun that involves some discomfort in the moment but makes for great memories. Some uncomfortableness is accepted as the cost of a worthwhile experience in a lot of situations. It's why we have so many hikers as well. Christmas markets and the cold are part of that - is it cold to the point that it is uncomfortable? Absolutely. Is there a great experience to be had by going out regardless? Also yes. As long as there's more on the positive side we're willing to accept some costs. Nice video, it's always fascinating to see people from other cultures examine what you take for granted; I'll have a newfound appreciation that there's so many friends willing to accept the discomfort to enjoy the christmas markets with me.

As a German I get a hit of nostalgia listening to you - winter is the time when we notice climate change the most. Yes, summer has become a real problem, but I remember white christmas being more than just a song, and I miss that. Last week my son had his first snowball fight in years, and he was so happy... So while you find it cold, many of us actually miss winter. If you are really interested in seeing the richness of german "Weihnachstsmärkte", you should consider coming to Esslingen (in BaWü, not too far from Munich). It's one of the biggest medieval-themed fairs in Germany and definitely worth a trip.

Hahaha ... I'm a Dutch living in São Paulo, Brazil! The Dutch weather is very similar to the German and as you can guess we've adapted to it by consuming winter foods and drinks and use proper clothing! While living here in São Paulo for the last 16 years it still amazes me that when the mercury hits the 18°C mark local people walk around with more clothes on than you did in this vid and are still shivering when I walk around in my shorts and T-shirt eating an ice cream or having a cold beer and them looking at me as if I'm an alien or something 😂😂😂

In Germany, you´ll learn that there ios no wrong weather, just wrong clothing!

There isn't much to survive in a Central European winter, weatherwise. The darkness might become the bigger problem. Aside from that, December isn't the "worst" month. The gloomy winter blues comes when New Year is over and the dark times go on for several more weeks, but in monotony.

As a german: I didn´t own a hat, gloves, scarf or winter boots for decades. But while the UK soldiers were stationed in my town I always thought they were crazy. Polo shirts and short pants in winter. "Die spinnen die Briten!" They took it to another level...

Especially in North Germany, also Grog is quite common. It‘s basically just rum, sugar and hot water, but there are a little bit more refined versions of it, too, like different sorts of alcohol, added spices, etc. After a long winter walk, I also love to drink hot chocolate with some rum in it. I think what‘s also really important for „surviving“ winter: You must go outside regularly so you get used to the cold. That really makes a huge difference. The saying „Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, sondern nur schlechte Kleidung“ truly is engrained in our culture, and it basically means: Never let the weather stop you from doing whatever you want to do. We Germans also really think that fresh air is important for staying healthy. That‘s why we are world famous for „Lüften“ (airing out) several times a day, and that‘s probably also one of the reasons why we love outdoor activities so much and make sure that our children play outside all year round. Some of my American friends seem to think that you CAN NOT tell your kids to go outside when it‘s cold and rainy, whereas most Germans believe that you even MUST tell your kids to go outside everyday, at least for a little while, (almost) regardless the weather. No matter if you feel a little sick or depressed, worried, stressed or whatever, our answer to all of this in Germany seems to be: „Du musst mal an die frische Luft.“ („You need to go outside to get some fresh air“). I always thought this was normal all around the world, but in many other countries this only seems to apply when the weather outside is pleasant. In Germany it‘s regardless the weather. Don‘t feel well? Go outside!

For me I think it is how I grew up as a kid. I grew up in rural Germany and for us as kids it was normal to be outside all the time, no matter the weather. We regularly did come home soaked, covered in mud or with hands so cold they were hurting cause we played in the snow for too long but we did thoroughly enjoy it. As far as I can remember my parents never had a problem with it either - if anything they encouraged it. Guess I never really changed my attitude afterwards, as an adult. If I want to be outside to get some fresh air, go hiking or mountainbiking I don´t care much about the weather. Nothing is going to happen that a hot shower and the mashing machine can´t fix. Just dress accordingly and have fun :)

Personal take: It's about contrast. Live has its ups and downs, and we need the downs to appreciate the ups. In the cold freezing weather, you can truly appreciate the steaming hot Glühwein and warm meals. In the dark night, you can truly appreciate the bright lights of the christmas market. In the bleak white and gray of winter, you can truly appreciate the bright colours of christmas. In the season of death, we can truly appreciate the life we have, and the evergreen christmas tree reminds us of that. In the silence of winter, you can truly appreciate the christmas songs. After a long walk and staying up late, you can truly appreciate going to bed when you return home.

I think that going out in the cold is a (northern) European thing. Scandinavians do it too. Picnic in deep snow? Normal in Finland or Sweden! You just need the right clothes and a few plans of what you want to do outside. I actually once had an American flatmate who didn't have a warm coat at all and complained terribly during her first winter in Berlin that she was always so cold. Well - yes. It does get a bit cold here in winter. Maybe a winter coat is a really good idea! 😆 She just said that in the USA she always travelled by car, so she would never be outside for more than a few moments in winter. For me personally, the cold in winter is not so much a problem as the darkness.

I generally don't go out that often (too lazy), but today we got 40 cm of fresh snow and it looked sooooo beautiful, so I instantly went for a three hour walk into the Westpark and had some Glühwein and Bratwurst there. What a wonderful day!

Here in Poland we have something called Highlander's Tea (Herbata Góralska). There are different versions of this tea, lighter and stronger, but the traditional, stronger one has so much alcohol that, combined with the heat, it makes even the most alcohol-resistant people drunk after just one cup.

I remember when I was hiking with my parents and the last few kilometers it started raining so much you could barely see 5 meters in front of you. In the moment I was just super pissed but my dad was just laughing. He was having so much fun and I have to admit, now years later I also have to laugh about it. I even started to enjoy being outside more when it is raining and windy. Storm is amazing specially when being close to the sea.

When I joined the Bundeswehr my sergeant said: „Two kind of people are freezing, the poor and the stupid, the Army does something against poor.“

It's quite funny when you're in Barcelona in winter and you can immediately spot all the tourists from Germany or Scandinavia because they're the only ones running around in T-shirts at 20° instead of a thick jacket.

Against the coldness its really simple: Get a real warm jacket (Winterjacke) that is waterproof. That should do it for the most time. If you are a person that suffers from cold feet - get some winterboots too. If you want to walk through snow you will definitely need waterproof boots or else your toes will be freezing as well. But I guess that you already did something against the weather becaude right now you should have a lot of snow in Munich.

As someone who is currently working on a christmas market (and a historical one at that) just. layers upon layers. In addition to many warm beverages and warm food. It doesn't get that cold here so for the most part you are fine with wool but of course, down jackets or maybe even fur if you're a little extravagant also do quite a good job at keeping you warm. And while usually plastic is terrible bc it doesn't breathe, it does mean that it keeps quite warm. And of course all the layers in the world, in this case more really is more. Or, to use a German saying: Viel hilft viel. (A lot helps a lot)

Really interesting to see other people's reactions to your own culture/country, very cool :)

Just to mention it: It is Germany, not the north pole. Germany is not "extremly" cold or dark or something. It is just central Europe like weather. ;) And yes, Feuerzangenbowle is pretty strong. ;) But if you do not like those, there is pretty much always the option to go alcohol free if you want to. It might be called "Kinderpunsch" or something, but in general if you are driving or do not want to drink alcohol you can get those and they are fine too.

Living high up north in Germany, and I still remember the Winter of 1979 when even the Rhine froze... What I learned about coping with the weather here: Cold is, when you are peeing ice cubes. Storm is, when the sheep have no curls anymore. :) Great video, really loved the vibe!

Hi Matt just wanted to say you make great Videos and I think your chanel deserves more attention. Love from Germany

alcohol actually makes you colder! It makes you FEEL warmer, as it opens the blood vessels, but that causes your body to rapidly lose heat. That is why you drink warm alcohol on christmas markets - you feel doubly warm and don't lose that much body heat, as it balances out.

The secret is layering (or onions), wearing multiple layers, like an onion. ++× Glühwein and Feuerzangenbowle. 😂 Liked the video, you had a great and charming company!❤

Yes, we like to drink mulled wine in the run-up to Christmas, especially at the Christmas markets. The drink has been around for at least 200 years in central Germany, but is also known (sometimes under a different name) in many European countries. To make mulled wine, red wine is mixed with various spices, usually Christmas spices such as cloves, aniseed, cinnamon, must nut or ginger, and heated. Good quality mulled wine ("Winzerglühwein") is mainly available from winegrowers, as it must come from their own production and must not be diluted with water or juices.

I´m a German living in Shanghai and now I´m watching an American drinking "Glühwein" in Munich as to cope with homesickness. ^^

An important note, get a real winter jacket and good warm winter boots. Mine's rated for -20 degrees, its warm enough to walk around in a business shirt when its frozen outside and wind blows like a frozen hell. No additional layers needed besides the jacket.

I'm so excited to come back to Munich next week for the holidays, thanks for building the hype!

Me watching this with no clothes while the window is wide open and 30cm of snow is laying outside. But as a german u gotta have to the "Stoßlüften"

What i truly enjoy is that the both of you take the time and effort to get your pronunciation right. Sounds so much better and nicer and more educated than the usual. Your W's are right and your V's are right and your Ü's are correct and all that. Massive respect to both of you. I am glad you like this country and with this much dedication to get our language and culture right, i'm sure you find that this country likes you back.

My favorite: Jagertee. Try Christmas Market at Münchner Freiheit! Nuremberg is definitely a great idea. Try one of the Lebkuchen there, one of the big rectangular ones, without glaze (no sugar coating or chocolate). Regensburg also has a relatively large medieval old town. The Christmas market is also very nice there. or short day trip from Munich: Bad Tölz

This vid got recommended to me out of nowhere. No regrets clicking! Loved the vid man! 🤘🏻

It depends so much on the area in Germany. Munich will always be way colder than the Cologne lowland / bay area and it's surrounding villages and towns in a span of 40~ kilometres.

as a german that alsways admits high body temp when i go outside and have people around me jeh im bit of an introvert and a bit anxious among strangers i try to just dress warm enough to not freeze but chill enough to not sweat couse being sweaty in the cold is actualy dangerous today when i was geting groceries at -2°C (no wind chill) for day fit i wore a normal t shirt a light zipper hoodie an pair of jeans bamboo soccs that go over my ankles for outside gear i wore landrover winter boots with an extra husky fur like inlay and an open real leather jacket like u wear for riding a motor bike for extra protection half finger gloves, a shemagh (scarf) and i put my hoodie on i alway have the option to wreap my head in the shemagh to mut my hands in my pokets and to close the jacket if i should feel to cold optional at this weather a nice warm hoodie but no shirt beneath or warm sneakers if there is no snow or rain (or any autum fit boots ) its not the amount of the leyers but the quality of em and waht fits ur body the most also it should be notet that becouse i got groceries i expectet the store to be warm af speaking of when u walk into a warm store open everything that u can open jacket west flanell buttoned shirt everything becouse of the temprature difference

You came to the right place, now you can see germans really cope with winter given that munich had around 25 cm of snow during last night. Was outside today getting some groceries. Had fun walking through the snow for a little bit.

Pretty good impressions from Munich - loved the video. Well done!

beautiful video ... waiting for the next one showing a lot of snow which Munich does have rarely meanwhile 🌨❄🌨❄☃

Lovely video, and your German sounds good!

I still remember going to Spain in winter and being happy to have spring temperatures after witnessing my plane having to get rid of ice on the turbines before take-off in Germany. The next few days, I walked around in thin clothes and was very amused at the locals wearing thick winter jackets.

Best time of the year. So relaxing. So fresh. So fun.

I really enjoyed this video. Hope you love your stay ❤

Nuremberg: I found the main market very generic and touristy. I mean, it IS a must, but the smaller ones are much more unique. A very unusual tip, since it is mostly not considered a city one would visit: Chemnitz. I know, chances are really slim, but if you happen to be in Saxony in December in the future: definitely check out the market in Chemnitz. It was voted best in Saxony for many years for good reason and only lost this title once the "normal" and the medival section were counted as separate markets.

Ahh. it's always nice to see something about my hometown on youtube!

a really good winter jacket is also really important. one that you can wear every year again and again. i like them when they are longer than normal jackets because it keeps my but warm and i can sit on cold surfaces

Feuerzangenbowle is tough, depending on who makes it. The one of my father is basicly rum, with a few drops of whine, mixed with lots of sugar an spices.

Nice Video, but you guys were walking around in munich lol, it doesn't even get that cold in a big city ^^ Go to Garmisch or Oberstdorf and show how the germans deal with the cold there :D

Winter is a vibe all geared up outside trying to roll one with frozen finger joints

*Yes winter is cold, but…* ⛄️❄️🥰 Through the white ceiling, it seems as if the whole world is sleeping. As if the movement was slower. The hustle and bustle disappeared. It's quieter and more peaceful. And even when the days get darker, you still get the feeling of coziness. The feeling of family. The sound under your boots when you step on snow. The smell of freshness in the air you breathe. The world truly stands still for a moment. A moment in a snow globe. All you need is warm clothing. In temperatures like this, people learn the value of warm shelter. Be grateful for what you have.

If this is your first winter in Germany and you can't manage with the few hours of sunshine because you are used to more, vitamin supplements can help. In December and November, you get an average of 1.2 hours of sunlight per day through the usual cloud cover... if you're not used to this, it can trigger depressions.

Gluehwein has two ways of working: - If you drink just one, it makes you feel warm and cozy! - If you drink three or four, or more, you just don´t care any more that it is cold! Gluehwein and Bratwurst! That´s pre-christmas life!

Great production quality!

Tollwood is kind of an alternative culture festival. So you find bio and handcrafted stuff there. And creative exhibitions. It's like a hippies market. Another thing i can recommend is the "night of art" (Nacht der Kunst) where you get a cheap flatrate ticket to every art gallery in munich for one night and there are special events.

It rarely gets as cold in Germany as in the northern US like upstate NY. It is usually just a couple of days below -10°C. Average January temperature in most places is around 0°C. Just cold enough to enjoy Glühwein. Nothing like the blizzardy frost waves that you are used to.

Der Mittelalter Weihnachtsmarkt am Wittelsbacherplatz in München ist auf jeden Fall auch sehr zu empfehlen. Liebe Grüße von einer Münchnerin😊 The Medieval Christmas market at Wittelsbacherplatz in Munich is also highly recommended. Kind regards from a Munich woman

I'm glad you knew about Winter Tollwood. The christmas market at Marienplatz definitely has the more traditional atmosphere, but it's kind of a tourist trap tbh. There are better traditional christmas markets if you look outside of Munich (depending on how far you want to drive). In Munich, Tollwood is the much better experience imo. And as you guys said, it's really mostly locals who go there.

not only is this a really good video about winter time in Germany but itrs also a very very authentic slice of German lifestyle and everyday life here in Germany really liked it :D

Sieht toll aus auf der Wiesn. 👍🏾😎 🍷

Hi there! Today is Dec 4th, 2023, and during the last few days I saw reports EVERYWHERE about the snow "catastrophe" in Munich. Well, I live in Bavaria, and I'll tell you what REALLY happened. There was snow. Lots of it, within a short time. A bit more than usual for the season, and definitely much more than last year when there was an extremely warm winter. But nothing Bavaria hadn't seen before, and nothing that hadn't been forecast on time. Roads were blocked by snow and fallen trees, and the airport and railway stations had to shut down. Now what's the reasonable thing to do in such a weather? Right, you stay at home, and that's what people did. Power lines and phone lines weren't affected at all, so you had your heating on and could watch TV, surf the internet, and cook your meal. Happened before and will happen again. But I've rarely seen such a media hype about it than this year. That wasn't a catastrophe, that was just bad weather, and older Bavarians like me have experienced that several times in their lives. As always, there were no severe accidents as people stayed away from the roads, and also as always, it will take a couple of days until all roads are cleared and air and rail traffic will be back to normal. I hear that around 1,500 people had to sleep on cots at Munich airport, well, I'd take that as a little adventure, and it also shows how well prepared they are for situations like this, setting up an emergency shelter within hours. Central European climate is mostly mild. But it can also be good for a surprise. Keep that in mind when traveling here.

When you earlier said " i bring you to a special drink" i knew it will be the Feuerzangenbowle!😁😁

I grew up in the Black Forest in Germany and i think that's the only area where in winter public transportation occationally stops working for a few weeks in winter. Here people lived by 3 rules: 1. There is no bad wheather, only bad clothing. 2 Onion look (layers over layers of clothing, like an onion). 3 If you are still cold, just go and move, it will warm you up. Now i'm living further south, in Freiburg at the border between the Black Forest and Breisgau plateau - it's pretty much the sunniest and warmest area in Germany. It's rarely snowing here, and if it does locals are at a loss how to get rid of the snow.

Every german has their winterclothes in their closet. They are usually behind the summer clothes and are moved to the front as soon as it gets cold. Thicker sweaters, for example. And you have a Winter Coat only use in Winter or cold weather. You also wear your Winter boots, the Winter gloves and scarf. This means you can go outside without worring. When i was a child we had to wear knit tights and bobble hat.

We Germans don't freeze, we shake with anger because it isn't colder.

Now I need a video from you outside today after the huge ammount of snow that came down last night. I will be out in about an hour with my camera to go for a walk and hopefully some nice pictures

3:35 It also helps if you are in the company of a smile that raises the temperature by at least 5 degrees

he: it was a cold rainy sunday! my german brain: there is something wrong... when it is cold, it´s not raining, it´s snowing! 😜

As a german living in Germany, i can tell you, that we didn't have a really cold winter due to Global Warming for atleast the past 30 years, growing up we had tons of snow, now we have rather mild winters, we stay warm inside with the heaters on, drinking hot tea or coffee, when we go outside, we wear a warm sweater, warm socks, a scarf, winter coat, cloves, boots and a cap. Some of us sleep with their socks on and a hot water bottle.... All common sense.

Had to stop at 5:21 because I didn't want to be spoiled about this years Wintertollwood decorations hahaha it's always the best to come up from the metro and see what it looks like this year 😊 nice video nonetheless, loved hearing you guys' perspectives!

Granted, I live in western Germany and not in Munich (where winter means surviving blistering cold and tons of snow), but I have this problem with winter jackets in that they all are too warm for me. I have like three different jackets and most of the time, I start overheating immediately, even if it is ten degrees below freezing. I usually have to wear a t-shirt, a hoodie and a lighter jacket for autumn or spring to achieve the desired level of insulation. I wonder if it has to do with my ancestors sitting around some cold, snowy forests 2,000 years ago, waiting fore some Romans to clap.

Feuerzangenbowle isn't actually that different from Sangria in Spain. Although I have to say nobody actually drinks that like ever here in Germany. It became famous due to a black and white movie about a hundred years ago.

2 cm of snow and -2° is neither cold nor is it really winter. Climate change has ruined everything! Take a look at old videos/photos from the 70s and 80s, it wasn't unusual to have over a meter - or more - of snow in Munich and the temperatures were often -10° or even colder. As a child I was able to ride a sled for weeks - these days the kids slide down the hill for a day or two on a thin layer of snow with the grass sticking through. They can't even build snow houses or a decent snowman! ☀️ It's sad... 😒 🛷⛱️

The Pfand for those Christmas glasses/mugs are usually that high since you can also keep them which lots of people do.

"Feuerzangenbowle" - the best of the winter-drinks EVER :D ... but yeah, it's gotten very expensive to get "Glühwein" and stuff. And we do Xmas-Markets for all of the Advent-Sundays - so from first of advent to 4th of advent and in Munich I think there are about 35 individual small to big xmas markets - and then in all bigger vilages and cities around you have it at least for a weekend or two - it's the best time of the year ;) :).

You can keep the cups if you want to remember the place or day.

If you are going to Nürnberg you should chekc out the christmas market at Handwerkerhof (directly at the main station) and the Kinderweihnachtsmarkt in the Altstadt nex to Christkindlsmarkt. These two are really really pretty!

For the Weihnachtszeit you have to go to a Christmas market in Saxony (Sächsische Schweiz) like Freiberg (Saxony), Bautzen, Dresden etc. Its where the christmas sculptures are made and the markets have a little more traditional touch. (could be maybe bad somehow but its not...) :)

I‘m German and 30 and I struggle with winter a lot! 😅 It‘s not the cold but the darkness and no clothing solves this issue. I get a really bad winter blues around January and February when Christmas and New Year‘s is over and there is nothing to look forward to anymore but spring and March when most people I know celebrate birthday. 😅

You bought the exact same gloves that I lost one of today😩😁 Nice video too👍

Honestly I never thought about this .... Like I have been raised to deal with the colder temps by getting warm clothes and timing the Intervalls outside right to not get ill .... "There is no weather to cold, just clothes not warm enough" kinda vibe Thanks for talking about this I am truly fascinated

Love Munich. Left 20 years ago, still miss it. Rents went up too much, unfortunatelly.

I live in an old house under the roof without insulation at all. In Summer it is unbearable hot. The heating is also old and doesn't work correctly. In cold winters i have icicles growing at the toilet window. There is no heating in the kitchen and the bathroom also. I'm used to it since i was a child. But it's cheap and i use woolen blankets and warm water bottles to stay comfortable.

I liked you video very much! Also I work in a kindergarten here and we try to go outsite to play every day even when it's raining or snowing :D So very normal for me to go outside in winter. Greeting from Hamburg :-)

I highly recommend looking up a recipe and doing Feuerzangenbowle yourself! It's the most fun when you do the whole ritual. Alternatively, at some xmas market they will prepare the bowle in a big pot for people to watch, but I feel like that is becoming a rare sight. You put the drink in a mug, then lay a metal platform across the rim (the name giving Zange). You put a sugar cone on that platform, pour Rum on the sugar, and light that on fire. The burning sugar will drip into the drink, and the surface will start burning too! It's a delightful sight to behold. Just don't let it burn for too long, or the alcohol will be gone...

Was skiing today. 40 cm of fresh snow by -5°. Drove through the day with 2 breaks with warm tee and meals. 5 cotes of glothing and 3 on the legs with 2 pairs of socks. Was a beautiful day.

Just subbed and passing this to berlin friend to beat winter depression. Hope you hit 1000 subs soon and how will you celebrate 🍾??

Hope you also took a video from the 44cm snow munich had...

"feeling cold" is a function of time. To stay at Christmas market I pack up good. To just visit shops I accept a bit of cold but be comfortable in the shops where I spend most of my time

Clothing is the key, with the right ones, you can get away with a lot of weather, and in some ways, I kinda prefer cooler weather because you have more options with dealing with it whereas hotter weather, you just have to sweat it out, and yes I know there's air con, but that won't help in a lot of situations like when out and about, but with the right clothing, you can get away with a lot when it comes to winter, in my case, my tolerance level is -5C before I start to feel cold, anything above that and I don't feel it at all and thankfully, it rarely drops below -5C where I live in the UK with it averaging out around 5C to -5C in winter. When it comes to the home, it's amazing how effective insulating the house can be for keeping the house warm, we did a lot of insulating shortly before the war in Ukraine started as we had a feeling of what was going to come with energy prices, now we rarely need to use heating at all, even at -5C and when we do, it's normally just for an hour which keeps the house warm for half the day or more. I've also noticed how people's body heat and tech gadgets around the house that generate heat, over a few hours, that really does help to heat up a room in the house that in smaller rooms, it can actually feel a bit too warm, great for winter but something we have to work on for summer lol.

well, that's one hell of a first winter in Munich to have this year.

Its zero here at the Rhine and I got my heaters still off and my window half open

You didnt visit the Pink-Christmas Market in Town? You should do that next December. 🙂

how do you only have 1000ish subs? video quality and editing is very nice and both of you are you are super likable. congraz this video blew up anyways :) i definitely dropped a sub! halt die ohren steif brudi 🤙

We had a traditional Feuerzangenbowle Fest at university, which the first semesters had to organize every winter. It was really fun, but Feuerzangenbowle makes the worst hang over.

if you check out Nürnberg it will be great its one of the best christmas markets.
